Abstract
Abstract: Spin probe EPR spectroscopy is currently the only method to quantitatively report on the orientational ordering of graphene oxide membranes. This technique is based on the analysis of EPR spectra of a membrane containing stable radicals sorbed on oxidized graphene planes. The efficiency of the method depends on the spin probe structure; therefore, it is important to find stable paramagnetic substances that are most sensitive to the alignment of graphene oxide membranes. In the present work, three novel stable nitroxide radicals containing aromatic fragments with two nitrogen atoms were tested as spin probes to study graphene oxide membranes. The spinHamiltonian parameters of the radicals in graphite oxide powder and orientational order parameters of the probes inside graphene oxide membrane were determined. The sensitivity of one of these radicals to membrane orientational ordering was found to be higher than for any of spin probes used previously. A likely reason for this higher sensitivity is the presence of heteroatoms which can facilitate interaction between paramagnetic molecules and oxygen-containing groups on the inner surface of the membrane. The new high-sensitivity spin probe may significantly increase the potential of EPR spectroscopy for studying the internal structure of graphene oxide membranes.
